FLIGHTS TO COLOMBIA
Flights to Bogotá
Fly Emirates to the capital city of Colombia and enjoy a feast of arts, culture and delicious food surrounded by the majestic Andes mountains.
Flights to Bogotá
Emirates flights to Bogotá land at El Dorado International Airport with a stop in Miami on the way. Colombia’s capital city, and its largest, sits at over 2,600 meters (8,500 feet) above sea level on a plateau of the majestic Andes mountains.
Bogotá offers some of the best of Colombia’s art, culture and delicious local food. Start with a wander around the historic area of La Candelaria. You can discover incredible street murals and cobbled streets with colorful Spanish colonial buildings. Buskers fill the air with music and performers entertain the crowds in Plaza de Bolívar, where you’ll find many of the main attractions.
These include the Catedral Primada de Colombia, the Casa de Nariño (the residence of the Colombian president), the striking Santuario Nuestra Señora del Carmen church with its distinct red and white stripes, and the popular Museo del Oro, or Gold Museum.
If you’re looking for art galleries, a must-see is the Botero Museum. This pretty, colonial mansion features the rotund figures of Fernando Botero, a famous Colombian artist and sculptor who created the distinct ‘Boterismo’ style.
In the evening, Bogotá’s vibrant nightlife offers global cuisine, high-end restaurants, stylish bars, salsa clubs and rowdy pubs, where you can join the locals for a game of tejo, Colombia’s noisy national sport.
What to do in Bogotá
Admire the views
Surrounded by hills and mountains, Bogotá gives you the chance to enjoy spectacular panoramic views. Take the funicular train or cable car or hike to the top of Monserrate to gaze across the city. You can visit the church perched on top and browse stalls of Colombian food and souvenirs. Or travel a little further beyond Bogotá to hike in national parks like Parque Natural Chicaque with its thick forest, waterfalls and diverse wildlife.Indulge in Colombian cuisine
While you explore or shop around Zona Rosa, keep your energy up with some hearty local food. Enjoy an ajiaco (thick soup or broth of chicken and potatoes with rice and avocado), tamales (steamed corn wraps filled with meat, beans and vegetables), or snack on arepas (fried cornmeal stuffed with all sorts of options from spicy chicken or beef to black beans, cheese and more). The region is also famous for its coffee, so sip it like a local and have a tinto with panela—a black coffee with unrefined sugar.
